In an extremely simplified explanation,
What happens is that the steam (heat) that is generated by the burning of coal is used to rotate the motor of the steam engine.
Answer:
<em>W=700 Joule</em>
Explanation:
<u>Physics Work
</u>
Is the dot product of the force vector by the displacement vector
![W=\vec F \cdot \vec r](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=W%3D%5Cvec%20F%20%5Ccdot%20%5Cvec%20r)
When both the force and the displacements are pointed in the same direction, the formula reduces to its scalar version
![W=F.d](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=W%3DF.d)
The weightlifter is applying a net force of 350 N to lift the weights a distance of 2 m, thus the net work done is
![W=350\ N\ .\ 2\ m=700\ Joule](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=W%3D350%5C%20N%5C%20.%5C%202%5C%20m%3D700%5C%20Joule)
Answer:
Acceleration, ![a=-2.48\ m/s^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=a%3D-2.48%5C%20m%2Fs%5E2)
Explanation:
Initial speed of the skater, u = 8.4 m/s
Final speed of the skater, v = 6.5 m/s
It hits a 5.7 m wide patch of rough ice, s = 5.7 m
We need to find the acceleration on the rough ice. The third equation of motion gives the relationship between the speed and the distance covered. Mathematically, it is given by :
![v^2-u^2=2as](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=v%5E2-u%5E2%3D2as)
![a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=a%3D%5Cdfrac%7Bv%5E2-u%5E2%7D%7B2s%7D)
![a=\dfrac{(6.5)^2-(8.4)^2}{2\times 5.7}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=a%3D%5Cdfrac%7B%286.5%29%5E2-%288.4%29%5E2%7D%7B2%5Ctimes%205.7%7D)
![a=-2.48\ m/s^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=a%3D-2.48%5C%20m%2Fs%5E2)
So, the acceleration on the rough ice
and negative sign shows deceleration.
This being a perfect collision means no energy is lost during the collision. Because this question asks for speed and not velocity, the speed will be the same because the final energy is the same. The speed after the collision would therefore be 1.27 m/s.
